Solis Inverter Alarm: 1018
Solis alarm 1018: Grid output overcurrent
Solis alarm code 1018 usually means the inverter has detected grid output overcurrent. This means the current being exported from the inverter to the grid has moved outside the expected operating range.
Alarm code 1018 may appear as:
- OV-G-I
When this happens, the inverter may stop exporting power or disconnect from the grid to protect the solar system.
This does not always mean the inverter itself has failed. Grid output overcurrent may be linked to grid instability, AC wiring issues, inverter output behaviour, site wiring, grid voltage changes or another electrical condition affecting the inverter’s connection to the grid.
Let e-Solar check your inverter and grid connection
If the alarm appears once and clears by itself, the inverter may have reacted to a temporary grid or current condition.
If Solis alarm 1018 keeps returning, it is worth having the system checked. Our Perth-based solar team can inspect the inverter, review the AC connection and help determine whether the issue is related to grid output current, AC wiring, inverter settings, site wiring or wider network conditions.
Contact e-Solar and let us know:
- The exact error code on the screen or app
- When the code appears
- Whether your solar production has dropped
- Your inverter model, if you know it
Do not open the inverter or attempt electrical testing yourself. If the issue is persistent, a qualified technician may need to inspect the AC wiring, test inverter output and confirm whether the grid connection is operating safely.
